Post Operative Care
These collections of photos show the variety of healing that can occur. Infection is very tender and may be accompanied by fever. All wounds become inflamed and have some swelling and a pink look which settles after the ring separates.
This collection of images show the variety of normal postoperative progress. It is normal to have inflammation ut it should not be tender. If it is very tender it is probably infected.
These images show situations where you should ring Dr Sales or Dr Lindsay for advice.
The nurses will demonstrate how to apply Betadine and Vaseline to the wound, and when to give analgesia.
What you will need
Betadine Ointment, Vaseline, Infant Paracetamol, Aqium hand gel ( or similar brand )
